Dr. Fuchs and Dr. Gold are incredible. I won’t let anyone else touch my teeth! My dentist of 20+ years retired I had some difficulty finding a great dentist and I’m so glad I found these providers! Dental hygienist, Diane is wonderful just the sweetest and does a great job! Everyone in the office is wonderful as well:)

I am a former patient. When I first started going to Dr. Gold's office 25 years ago I was very satisfied with his patient care and he did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and welcome. A few years ago he brought on new staff and post COVID I had an appointment scheduled. The office called me and said they had a cancellation, I said to them, I would love to come in however I cannot as I have to pick up my child from work. The office assured me that if I took the appointment I would be out in time to pick up my child. Unfortunately when I went in the new dentist did not see me until 30 mins after the office said they could take me.

And while in the chair that dentist was having a conversation with the hygienist about how stupid people were not getting the COVID vaccine. Instead of doing the task at hand he was continuing his leisurely rant with the hygienist about his disdain for such people. This new dentist's delay compounded with his lack of urgency made me extremely late to pick up my daughter from work, which created an issue with her employer because at the time my daughter was a minor and the employer did not feel it was appropriate to leave her alone until I arrived to pick her up. Please note I have always liked Dr. Philip Gold I remember him to be extremely professional and excellent at patient care, it was one of his new hires into the practice that gave me a really sour experience. To healthcare professionals please be professional and if you are not a pathologist or specialist don't talk about stuff you don't know. Your specialization is in the field you studied it does not give you expertise in your entire industry.

Especially when its giving an opinion while working on your patient. Dr Gold I give 5 stars, New Dentist (I don't remember his name 0 stars) Office staff 3 stars. The did try to improve workflow for the office I was likely the last patient and if I went in early it meant it gave the office more time to clean up and do paperwork, but this office efficiency was at the patient expense. I wish Dr. Gold well and hope that his staff will improve however I do not plan on returning.
